Abstract (en)

The invention relates to the determination of the complete two-dimensional axial cross section of internal and external screw threads and similar workpieces, wherein in a plane through the centerline of the workpiece, two screw thread profiles which are located diametrically opposite each other are measured through two two-dimensional scan measurements in this plane or through arithmetic construction based on two profile depth measurements with a measuring ball or measuring wire, further on the basis of the assumption that the screw thread profiles in question further have a known dimension and geometry, whereafter these two opposite profiles are linked to each other by performing one or more linked measurements such as, for instance, the outside diameter in the case of external screw thread and the core diameter in the case of internal screw thread. If a proper concentricity of the core diameter, the outside diameter and flank diameter is involved, it may suffice to measure or scan only one profile and one or more linked measurements.
